IF YOU’RE INTO NATURE… YOU’RE INTO PELICAN BAY!

While viewing property in Pelican Bay the other afternoon, the clients expressed a wish to take the tram (originally coined by the Scots for coal truck) out to the beach. For those who don’t know, Pelican Bay is a private self-contained community that stretches for two and a half miles along some of the most beautiful beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. It is bordered in the northern side by The Inn at Pelican Bay, while on the southern end are The Waterside Shops, a world-class shopping facility. Within Pelican Bay there is a 570 acre conservation area, as well as over 40 acres of parks and trails.

It had been a while since I last took the tram out to the beach and as we rode out from the north tram stop, I was reminded of how truly wonderful it really is. The ride takes you out through the mangroves, where you see all the wonders of Florida, both plant and animal. It’s here you’ll see alligators, cranes, storks and a multitude of other birds. It really is a great nature ride that seems as if it ends way early.

The good news is that you can not only enjoy the fabulous beach, but have a drink and dine, enjoying the sunset at one of the two fine dining restaurants on the Gulf in Pelican Bay. It is an experience that we, who have the privelidge and pleasure of living here, sometimes take for granted. If you find someone living in Pelican Bay you know, maybe you can borrow their pass to ride the tram out through mangroves and go through the experience.

If not, you’ll have to find a realtor, like myself, who’ll gladly show you!
